Description
If your dream is to open a pet boarding center by yourselves or you love to take care of dogs or you are a veterinary student, then this is the right place for you!
We can give you over 25 years' experience!
We are me Daniele, my partner Alexandra, our daughter Elisabetta (1), my daughter Aurora (19), and my son Sirio (17).
We live on a former tobacco farm and former dairy that we reconverted into a pets' boarding house. The house is a typical country house from the 1950s of about 200 square metres on two floors; there are four rooms, one kitchen, one reception office, three bathrooms (though one needs to be fixed), and one big room with a big fireplace (which also needs to be fixed). Two more rooms have a fireplace, one has a stove, and then there is a old cowshed and an old barn. There is also a wood oven to make pizza or bread. Surrounding the house there is a garden, a vegetable garden and fields (around 25 hectares) of corn, sunflowers and wheat.
If you like the countryside, dogs, cats, gardening, living on a farm in Italy, then this is the right place! We live on a farm in the Tevere Valley, not far from Rome, the same river that crosses Rome. The main activity is taking care of dogs and cats. This involves feeding them, cleaning their living quarters, giving any needed medicines, bathing them, playing with them, and supervising when they play with each other. There are three types of pets at our facility: 1) family pets and French bulldogs that we breed, 2) boarding guests, and 3) abandoned and homeless dogs and cats that we take in and try to find homes for. You will only be tasked with cleaning, feeding, caring for the abandoned and homeless dogs and cats and also general help around the garden & house. We are looking forward to working with you!
From the house, there's a country road where you can walk, run or bike along a river. Within a 10 km perimeter, there are no cars, only fields of grass and trees.
The villages near our place are very small, picturesque and quaint, but in 40 minutes by train you can reach the center of Rome and in 1.5 hours the center of Florence.
Last but not least, I serve great original Italian food! We always prepare vegetarian meals and very often even vegan.
You are welcome! -

Was a pleasure to host Charlotte!!
She is a very tidy, precise and great worker.
You have to call her to stop working because she always wants to finish the job started.
Is sociable and patient with everyone and it fits easily.
Can work in a team as well as carry on a job alone, thanks to her we have a cattery that looks as brand new!!!
